Useable bed/rm space 8x13 or 10x10...
Comments (23)LOL - I'm not sure what you are representing there. I think everything gets squashed up when you try to represent area. All I'm thinking about is the bedroom in question and the doorways. How about this. There is a rectangle which is roughly 13 feet by 10.5 feet. The Top wall is a 5 foot portion and an 8 foot portion of the nook. The Left wall is 8 feet and has a bathroom entry at the bottom. The Bottom wall is 13 feet and has the doorway at the far left side. The Right wall is 10.5 feet and has a window on it. At this point where do you put the closet? Let's say the closet is 5' x 2' - which is a nice size. -- If you put it on the Left wall it makes the doorways somewhat tunnel like. -- If you put it on the 5 foot portion of the Top wall it narrows one part of the room further to 6 feet but doesn't create a tunnel. Maybe this is better in that it creates a 5 x 6 nook with closet and two doorways, and then an 8 x 10.5 area. If you draw this out, does it make sense? And is this better than either the 8 x 13 room? or the 10 x 10 and move plumbing room? which you first wrote about. Rachel...See MoreLayout help 11'x16' kitchen
Comments (30)I'm sure there are...thanks for the picture! Have you thought about laundry upstairs with bedrooms? Or does it need to be closer to the service corridor? Glass doors make more sense in Brazil. But, would a single glass french door (or door and window) be safer/easier than a slider? Or are those double doors that open for easy access to replace the appliances? Now I understand why you don't have windows on that side of the kitchen. Do you plan to have a pool in the back yard? Do you need easier access to the bathroom? Also, what's that dark object on the 'bottom' wall of the living room? Is that a fireplace? Is the TV on the wall to the garage? Do you have any windows on the 'top' or 'bottom' walls? (I'm not sure what directions these face.) Is there anyway to put small windows on each side of the range for more light? It seems like all your light is coming from one side and it might be nice to balance that...but you don't want it to be too hot, either. Or have an unattractive view of the service area. Any chance you could have a pergola there, with some vines? :) I'll know more, after I see what your answers are about laundry, etc. Thanks for sharing your plan!...See MoreNeed ideas for reconfiguring long narrow 11.5 x 5.5 bath
Comments (45)benjesbride, one reason for rotating the shower and running it the width of the exterior wall would be to get rid of the existing half wall, which now creates a large dark area by the vanity. If I rotate the shower, I was thinking about putting both the shower head and the controls on the left hand wall. Stepping into the shower to turn on the water is not a big issue and I don't like the idea of having the shower head and the controls on separate walls. cpartist, thanks for the tip on the sliding glass doors. They certainly have changed over the last 25 years! I understand your point about a shower bench. Maybe a footrest or a couple of curved corner shelves would add a little bit of decor to that end of the shower, even though I doubt the spray from the shower head would reach that far. One question: How wide was the curb on your 3' x 6' shower?...See MoreHelp with furniture arrangement in long, skinny living room
Comments (137)Quentin, Thank you so much for the pictures! I did not see them until just now. The rooms look great! I see that you brought down the second red chair for the living room. And, put the bookshelf in the room too. That looks much better. Hopefully it works better for you and your family too. The two white chairs together in the front room looks like they work better for you and your family as well. Thank you again for the update. Best Wishes to you and your family, Marcie...See Morepook019
